Study on Heating of Reactor Terminal of UHVDC Converter Valve
With the direct current of HVDC transmission projects gradually increasing from 3 000 A to 5 000 A
the design margins of some key devices
such as valve reactor
become smaller and smaller
even overheating exists in some valve reactor terminals. In this study
the terminal overheating of UHVDC converter valve reactor was investigated. The main factors causing the terminal overheating were analyzed
and a thermal field simulation model was established with the software Ansys. Furthermore
some tests were conducted on the reactor terminal with a U-type bus added and its connecting bus. The results show that the addition of a U-type bus to reactor terminal can reduce the temperature of the terminal effectively.
